How to DO a Sailor.

Having decided to be a navigator,
if a boy has nothing else, let him at
least start with the consent and
blessing Of his parents or guardians,
and then go to work with the deter
mination OF becoming nothing less
than the captain of a ship.
At the outset, it would be good
idea for a boy to go on one of the
United States training-ships, where
young Americans are trained to be
seamen He must be between four
teen and eighteen years of age, and
he will not be entitled to his dis
charge until he has gone through
the whole course of instruction.
If our would-be seafarer pursues
this course, he will find it to his adj
vantage should he start life on a
European steamer. Still, he would
be possessed of a great deal of know-
ledge in reference to naval warfare
which, in that position, would be OF
no use to him, and there would be
of no use to him, and there would
be very much that he would have to
learn, in addition towhat he already
knew.
Starting as an ordinary seaman,
he would skip the drudgery of a
ships boy, and his promotion would
be somewhat more rapid, though
not remarkably so, for on the sea
you have to be thoroughly compe-
tent in one position before you can
rise TO higher
Ofthe four officers on an ocean
steamship the two senior officers
keep the reckoning OF the ship by
observation, that is, by means of the
stars, the noon, and the sun. The
third and fourth. or Two junior off.
GERS, keep the dead reckoning. By
this is meant the calculation Of The
ships position, independently of eel
estial observations
The pay OF the captain Of an ocean
steamer will be from two thousand

lars a year. The FIST officer vii

sound, and can get ready and take
his position before it comes within
gunshot.
This bird has many other names
besides the Whistler
Golden Eye, Great Head, and
Spirit Duck are some of them.
The Indians gave it the last name,
because it allows the hunter to come
very near it, and then before he can
twang his bow, the duck has vanish
ed below the water.
This frightens the superstitious
Indian. He thinks that such rapid.
ity ofmotion can only be due to
magic, and shoulders at the thought
that he has tried to shoot spirit.
This bird has another strange
habit. 1t builds its nest at the tor
of a tall dead tree, so old and worn
that the bark and branches have
fallen of, leaving only a slippery
pole.
Nobody knows how the tender
young ducklings get from nest tc
the water.
Legend says that the mother bird
carries her babies herself, holding
them by the bill, and supporting
them by her strong neck until she
places them safely in the water
No wonder that the ignorant Indians
think her an enchanting spirit.
When these birds are alarmed,
they make strange note, which
sounds like the constantly recurring
good note of an old WORKOUT hurdy
gurdy, such one as is played by
old women at street corners, and il
so weak with long use that only the
one good note can be heard at any
distance.
The Whistler feeds ON all sorts o
marine insects and small shell-fish
and in some regions is so dainty al
to prefer salmon spawn above al
other iood.-St. Nicholas.

A Realistic Adventure.

and it was late at night when they
reached some white lmbed syca-

small log-cabin N which they lived
A question then arose rs TO how
they should get the COW across.
They did not know the depth Of the
water, but they knew it to be cold.
and they did net caro to swim it,
The elder wanted The boy to run up
